[0:00] Mr. Paul, sir.
[0:02] There you are.
[0:03] So, with regard to, I think, Henry, I want to see Haig sometime today.
[0:11] Has Henry talked to you about it?
[0:13] Well, I was just going to check it, sir.
[0:15] I have a paper on it.
[0:17] There's no specific time.
[0:18] Well, the time is open.
[0:19] The time is open.
[0:20] I wanted to ask you what time we can see him.
[0:22] Yes, sir.

[0:26] Time is Mrs. Nixon's Garden Tour.
[0:28] Mrs. Nixon's Garden Tour begins about 1.45, sir.
[0:32] I think I should be there to pop out.
[0:34] That would be about 2 o'clock.
[0:37] Yes, sir.
[0:38] They're going to walk all the way around the driveway and they end up in the Rose Garden.
[0:42] I would walk out at that time.
[0:44] Yes, sir.
[0:45] All right.
[0:47] I'll plan to do that at 2 o'clock.
[0:49] Do you want to say anything or just informally just go out there for the photographs, sir?
[0:55] photograph, isn't it?
[0:56] Just the photograph, yeah.

[0:59] Fine.
[1:01] All right.
[1:03] Would you like to see Haig maybe at around 10 o'clock or so?
[1:08] See Haig around, shall we say, 11 o'clock.
[1:11] 11 o'clock.
[1:11] All right, sir.
[1:12] And see if Paul Keyes can come in around 12.
[1:17] That's fine.
[1:18] You have the material that Paul prepared for you?
[1:21] Yeah, yeah, I want to talk to him about the, I just thinking, I feel I should chat with him.
[1:26] Yes, sir.
[1:26] General things and so.
[1:27] That's fine.
[1:28] If he could come in around 12 o'clock, we could come in.
[1:32] In fact, yeah, 12 o'clock would be just fine.
[1:37] Tell him I have nothing to go into except I just want to talk generally about the programs and so forth.
[1:41] Okay.
[1:42] He's just working down the hall from you anyway, I think so.
[1:44] Oh, is he?
[1:44] Great.
[1:45] You remember, about 12.
[1:47] And make it 11, tell Henry so he can plan it.

[1:50] I'll bring in the paper that Henry is right on that.
[1:52] Right.
[1:53] All right, fine.
[1:54] And do you know whether Bob is in yet?
[1:57] Bob isn't in right this moment, sir.
[2:01] Well, I went to see him and Ehrlichman.
[2:02] They wanted to see me this morning.
[2:04] I don't know.
[2:04] Maybe they're up there.
[2:05] I don't know.
[2:05] See you jointly.
[2:07] But you can call and see when they can both come over.
[2:10] See if Ehrlichman's in, see if he can come over.
